FOUND GUILTY.
Young Bruins the One Who Des-
trOyed Mrs. Britt's
Property.

The charge against Mrs. Sarah
Bruins and son, for destroying property
on the premises of Mrs. Britt, in
South Sedalia, was only partially sus'
tanned this morning, before Justice
Halstead.
The testimony for the state, con-
elusively showed that the son, Patsy
Bruins, did the destroying, and bis
mother was innocent. The family
have occupied the property about two
months, and entered it on condition,
that they protect the same, and were
to be rewarded by having rent free.
Times became hard. and, to save ex.
pense, the son at night would knock
blanks from the fencesand outhouses.
The penalty imposed this morning
was very light-one dollar and costs,
amounting to s12.75, which he could
not produce, and will serve it out
within the confines of the county Jail.

Death of Mrs. Thomson

A telegram from Great Crossings,
Kentucky, a small place near George.
town, states that Mrs. Willie Thomp.
son, wife of David Thompson, who re-
sides few miles north of this city.
died at that place at 4 o'clock last
Saturday afternoon of cancerous tu-
NOR. Mrs. Thompson was taken to
Cincinnati some months ago and
put uuder treatment, but not improv-
ing, she was moved to Great Cross
ings, where her father, DR.. Henry
Herndon, resided, and where she died,
as above stated. Mrs. Thompson was
an amiable and accomplished lady,
and leaves a large circle of friends
to mourn her loss. As a sad
incident of her illness, her
daughter Mary, in a spirit of self
sacrificing devotion, which was re-
markable. by her care of her mother
exhausted her vital forces, and was
stricken with fever, from which she
now lies at the point of death. 1t is
probable that the remains of Mrs.
Thompson will be placed in a vault
until they can be brought here for
burial.

Last Saturday lady arrived in this
city. from Albuquerque, New Mexico,
claiming that she was the wife
of Thomas f. Mckeon and
that she was In search
of the latter, whom she
stated had left her about two year s
ago and that she had not, during that
time heard from him directly. A few
weeks ago she learned that her truant
husband was in Sedalia, and packing
her earthly possessions, she started
in search of him. On arriving here,
she applied to Officer George
Fifer, who gave her assistance
in locating Mr.. McKeon. The
officer found McKeon and escort
ed him to the Irwin house, where his
wife was stopping. The lady's aim

A New Theory Exploded.

1t is known, that some weeks ago,
while workmen were excavating in
the cellar for the Dempsey building
they struck wonderful stream of
water, which runs without ceasing. A
few days ago Water Commissioner
Rose declared that he believed that
the water main on East Second street
had bursted, and that the stream of
water in the Dempsey well, was d.
rect flow from the bursted main. To
the end that the matter might be
tested, the water, on Sunday, was
shu: from the Second street main,
since which time the people in that
part of the city have been deprived of
their usual supply of water, while
Dempsey has been compelled to keep
his pump going, and says that there is
not any change in the volume of water
in the well since the shut off, it is
greater. so the theory of a bursted
main has vanished into very thin air.
The Dempsey well still fills up.

An Amusing Runaway.

Last night about 8 o'clock, an anus
ing incident happened, in the form OF
a tree-for-all runaway on Ohio street.
At the time stated DR.. Ed Small's
horse ran north ON Ohio street al
full speed with hitching post
on the end of the halter. In
front of the Ramsey grocery, stood
two horses with Mr.. Rsmsey's little
boy holding them. When the run,
away came up. the two horses became
frightened and joined in the race,
running to Fourth street,
where they stopped. DIR.
SmalPs horse continued running,
and succeeded in causing another
horse to turn over a buggy, and a
couple of others to chase through an
alley, at breakneck speed. Nothing
serious resulted, however, only the
fright given to the little boy and the
occupants of the buggy, which was

A BURGLARS ATTEMPT.
The Boarding House of Mrs. Nau
man Entered Last Night.

Last night about II o'clock, an at.
tempt was made to burglarize Mrs.
Naunan's boarding house, corner Of
Howard and Hancock streets. 1t is
the custom of the landlady, to leave
the dining-room door unfastened, that
a yardman named j. ID. ChaIfant,
whose wife is an invalid, may pass in
and out to his wifo's apartments, and
in this way the burglar gained en-
trance. The would-be burglar
entered the dining room through a
small entrance up the stairs into
the room occupied by Mrs. Chalfant.
Crawling underneath the bed he Sc
cured valise, and in doing so awak-
ened the lady, who, seeing a man in
her room, began TO scream.
Her cries soon aroused Mrs. Maui
man, who encountered the burglar in
the doorway, and supposing him to
be no other than Mr.. Chalfant, asked
him what was the matter, to which
he replied: 81 guess there
is man in her room. Z"
Mrs. Nauman started up the stairs at
a rapid gait, expecting Mrs. Chalfant
as she thought-would follow, but
on reaching the top of the stairs she
learned that the man was no other
than burglar. Soon after Officer Bar
nett arrived but too late to be of any
service. Mrs. Nauman describes the
burglar, as tall slender man appar-
emily % years of age, and that he
wore a white hat and was in his shirt
sleeves. The officers are ON the look.
ont but the chances are against them,
as the would be burglar by this time
has taken his departure from the city.

Nearly a Tragedy.

1t is rumored that rupture be.
tween a prominent and highly re.
spected business man and his wife
came near ending in a tragedy last
night, owing to the fact that the wife
had resolved to leave her husband and
had sent her effects to the depot with
this view. The husband learning OF
the fact is said to have sent several
shots after his recreant wife. but with
OUT material damages. save a fright,
which resulted in OBTAINING her at
home. The reasons assigned
for the rupture are various,
and it is possible that it is nothing
more than a case of mutual disagree
ment which may be amicably settled.
The BAzoo trusts that this result will
be brought about and unless further
developments should warrant publica-
ton, will say nothing further concern
ing the matter.

County Court.

The county court met to-day with a
full bench. The matter under con-
sideration was regarding the tax suits
of the county against the Missouri
Pacific railroad, which suits had been
decided by the supreme court adverse
ly to the county. The proposition
before the court was to make a levy
and bring another suit.
T. j. Ports, general attorney,
appeared for the railroad, which
matter was informally talked over.
The probabilities are that the
court will abandon the case, as
there is no deficit of one years taxes
as has been claimed by the court.
Since the county has been beaten in
highest court In the state, it looks as
if the county would be foolish to start
another suit and be compelled to pay
a large bill of costs, with a very slim
show of getting ANYTHING.

Pony and Carriage Stolen.

Last night Emmett Harris, in COM
pany with his wife, drove to a friends
residence in South Sedalia to spend
the evening. They tarried until about
10 o'clock, and going to the place
where they had tied their pony, they
discovered that it and the carriage to
which it was hitched, had disappeared.
A search was made, which proved
fruitless. Nothing could be learned
of the missing property until this
morning about 10 o'clock, when a
darkey found the animal still hitched
to the carriage short distance south
west of Flat creek, grazing along the
roadside. There is no clue to the
thief.

After Him.

Marshal jackson received a tele.
gram this morning from the chief OF
police of Green Bay, Wis, saying
that the sheriff of Brown county was
now en- route to Sedalia with requisi-
ton papers for VIM. Martin, who is
now in the county Jail.
It will be remembered
that Martin was arrested and
sentenced to twenty-one days in the
county Jail, under the name of Lewis
Brown. 1t is the belief all who are
familiar with the circumstances of the
ssse, that Martin is wanted by the
Wisconsin authorities for robbery, but
he says it is for seduction. The
sheriff will arrive either tonight or
tomorrow morning.

I Milwaukee Sentinel.
"Have you any champagne?"
The questioner was an awkward
looking fellow apparently from the
country, the place a we'll known
Grand avenue restaurant, and the
time early Saturday evening. Upon
being answered in the affirmative he
asked:
do you sell it by the glass;"
"No sir, by the bottle, replied the
waiter
"All right. Please give me bot
tle."
The young man took seat and the
wine was brought and uncOrked in
his presence. Filling his glass after
the manner of man emptying a bot
tie Of beer, he hesitatingly raised it to
his lips; then after a moments con-
sideration, blew the froth from it and
swallowed the contents with one gulp.
1t was so good that he repeated the
dose until the bottle was empty. The
occupants of adjacent chairs mean
while become interested, and were
watching the vigorous wine-drinker
with the keenest interest. Apparent
ly satisfied with himself he called for
a 10.cent cigar and pulled away con-
tentedly. When he got ready to 60
he handed the waiter quarter. The
teutonic beer-slinger gazed at the piece
of silver and then at the cOuntryman,
in undisguised amaZement.
Haven't you forgotten the cham.
pagne?"
Certainly not. Take it out of the
quarter" glibly answered the young
man. The waiter attempted to ex-
plain that champagne was not 5-cent
drink, but the innocent granger
would have none oft. Then the pro-
prietor appeared on the scene and, in
terms that stirred up the stagnant
waters of the river, demanded the rea-
son of the mans conduct. The en-
barassed would-be blood pleaded ig-
norance of the rules of high society,
paid his bill and retired to hide his
confusion from the amused crowd.
The proprietor then paralyzed every
body by setting up the drinks all
around.

Obituary

The following notice, taken from
The Weekly Brunswicker, published
at Brunswick, Mo-, refers to gentle.
man who was we'll known throughout
this part of the country, he being the
father-in-law of Mr.. L. T. Clifford, of
this city:
"The Rev. William G. Bowman
breathed bis last at his residence north
west of this city on Tuesday morning
about Z o'clock, after long and dis
tressing illness.
"Mr. Bowman was born in Ken
lucky April 20, 1910, and was raised
in that state. About the age of TWEEN
ty.one he became travelling minister
in the Methodist Episcopal church,
with which he had been connected
for some time. He continued in the
Itinerant ministry of that church until
he was married, when, under the rules
of the church at that date, he was To-
Gated or withdrawn from the circuit.
After this he engaged in farming and
occasional preaching until 1856, at
which time he removed with his fami.
ly to the land he occupied at his
death.
About four years ago he met with
an accident by being thrown from his
horse, that severely injured his head,
and from that time it was apparent to
his family and most intimate friends
that his vigor, both mental and phys
zeal were gradually falling, and the
injury he received was the cause to
a great extent of paralytic stroke
about two years ago, from which he
never rallied, having been nearly un-
conscious or irrational for the past
ffteen months.
Mr.. Bowman was a strong man
mentally, being positive in his con-
xictions of right and wrong and re-
narkably outspoked in his views.
As a citizen and neighbor he had
NO superior, scarcely an equal in his
vicinity. Kind, sympathetic towards
those in distress, honest and upright,
indeed he was model husband, father,
.eighbor and citizen.
He leaves the aged partner of his
joys and sorrows and a large family of
sons and daughters, all of whom are
grown and under the precepts and ex-
ample of their father, are respected
and useful citizens.
